Anyway the boy on the left, Owen Moxie is what I bought yesterday. The guy on the right is Dylan Bratz. I bought him last Saturday when we went to Ottawa and I got to go to TRU! Both dolls were on sale.
The Moxie boyz are exactly the same as the Bratz boyz. Still like all my other dolls, there is never enough males to go around! I haven't named this one yet but the Bratz guy I named George cos he reminds me of George Strombolopoulos. Unless you are Canadian you probably don't know him. He has a late night talk show here in Canada. When we lived in Mississauga we actually got to go to a taping of this show and got to meet George too. Nice guy! He has done shows over in Britain and Ireland as well. So if he goes back there be sure and tune in to him. Last week he was in Pakinstan. That show will be televised later this week I believe.
Yesterday we had a our first b-b-que since moving to Cornwall. Jack bought himself a brand new one. It's his part of the anniversary gift which will be coming up in April. For sure I will get a doll, probably a Tonner one. There's a few on my wish list so we will see which one I order. Tonner has been having a lot of sales of late but nothing that I want has been marked down.
For those of you who have been wondering where I've been these last 6 months, I have joined two British Forums. I have met a great bunch of gals over there and have cultivated some good friendships too. It's interesting to see what dolls they like. The Ellowynes are a big hit with the ladies. And of course the Sindy doll which originated there. When I was a child my mother bought a Sindy for me. She was British and went overseas every couple of years to visit her family. I wish I still had my childhood dolls. Many of them I can get today in reproductions but not my Sindy. Or the wonderful clothing that my older sister made for me. She was a professional seamstress and sewed some lovely outfits for my dolls. She made quite a few wedding gowns for clients over the years and left over fabric was used to make a wonderful wedding gown for my dolls. I can still remember the feel of the real satin fabric. My dolls got married a lot just to wear that dress. I wonder what lucky girl has it now.
It's a gloomy day out there and very cold with the bitter winds that just won't die down. Well at least we didn't get the snow that SOUTH western Ontario got! 3 inches!!! I sure hope it doesn't come here. I may like winter but I am fed up with it now. After living in Mississauga where we only had winter for a week, I am tired of it.
I'm tackling yet another area in Dolton. Actually I am taking apart a book shelf that was badly damaged in the Dolton flood 3 years ago. Since most furniture today is made from partical board, this one rotted quite a bit. Jack is going to cut the bad ends of it and I shall use it for shelving. I already have spots for it, as there will be of course 2 long pieces. Maybe 4-5 feet long each. That should hold quite a few dolls I think. I shall have to wait until tomorrow though to get them put up as Jack is installing eavestrophing around his garage. Many homes and garages here in Cornwall don't have this item on their roofs and I wonder why. We have a large overhang of roof around our house but not so the garage and Jack has had plenty of water in his garage as a result. He plans to build a workshop in the garage and fortunately he didn't get it started last fall as all the wood would have been rotten from the water.
Anway that's about all I have to say for today. Talk to you tomorrow.
